One man was shot and police were searching for two others after they attempted to rob a jewelry store at the Oakbrook Center, police said.

The incident Sunday caused the mall to be put on temporary lockdown after the robbery attempt at the C.D. Peacock store, said Oak Brook Police Chief James R. Kruger Jr.

Three men went into the store and one of the men, armed with a hammer, broke a glass case while the other two acted as lookouts, said Kruger.

After the man broke the case, a security guard in the jewelry store drew his weapon and told the man to drop the hammer, Kruger said. The man with the hammer then began approaching the guard, who fired his weapon, striking the robber in the abdomen, Kruger said.
